An Irish Song or Twa

An Irish Song ~ The Mitchell Trio

As I walked out one May morning

To take a pleasant air

I saw a pretty girl walking by

With roses in her hair

I stepped right up and I said to her

Pretty girl, I think you're grand

She answered me and said, of course

I come from Ireland

I come from Ireland

That's very nice I'm sure, I said

You do the Country proud

But would you like to talke a walk

Somewhere behind the crowd

She said that was a pleasant thought

So we began to roam

And soon we reached a building [?]

Where this girl made her home

Where his girl made her home

She asked me to take off my coat

And rest myself a while

She stepped into another room

Which caused me for to smile

She soon came back to where I sat

She didn't keep me long 

And sitting down beside me said

I think I'll sing a song

I think I'll sing a song

And so this girl began to sing

In a voice both loud and clear

She sang of dear old Ireland

The Country she held dear

She sang me songs I had never heard

She learned from her mother

And when one song was finished

Well she'd start out with another

She'd start out with another

The hours went slipping quickly by

Till daylight all had gone

The night came all around us

And still she sang right on

And when the morning came at last

I said, I have to go

It's been a very pleasant time

And now this much I know

Ireland has leprechauns

She suffered many wrongs

Ireland has peat bog fires

And an awful lot of songs

 A Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
